Airflex air-cooled disc clutches and brakes excel in a wide range of applications. With favorable torque-to-size ratios and options with low-inertia friction disc assemblies, they provide maximum performance in limited spaces.
Full annular friction for higher energy performance and smaller package size compared to calipers
Torque rating - High torque capacity to package size ratio
Flexible design - Spring- or pressure applied, multiple disc units
Air-cooled models available
Floating Housing Brake (FHB) – Completely redesigned disc brake for dragline applications
DBBS brakes – Third generation spring-applied disc brake
DBB brakes – Second generation spring-applied disc brake with low inertia
DBA brake – The original design with 1000’s of installations still in use
DC clutches and brakes – Air-applied design for better torque control
Spring-applied and pressure-released, Airflex DBA disc-style brakes are available with either solid or ventilated discs to match the speed of the application. Featuring large friction areas to absorb and dissipate energy, DBA brakes are ideal for machinery that requires high-cyclic or high-inertia stops such as draglines, power shovels and conveyors.
